GIFT || Milltina Mecha Pon-Pon AND Milltina MechArm1 Prototype

[Nexxis]

and theres also the problem of not being able to wear clothes over it too, aye..... tis unfortunate

[ineviTabLe]

@Nexxis i could try and see if i could make blendshapes to shrink it maybe... would that fix the problem?

[ineviTabLe]

@Nexxis actually i might be able to fix it, i just realized it's because of the alpha mask! i think if i edit it a bit it should be fine maybe.. i'll get back to you with progress

what's the problem within the image? i can't exactly tell

[Nexxis]

@ineviTabLe so when any action with bending forward it clips through the metal and the skin overlaps it with the way the chest moves against the spine, the same problem happens with the hips too, its almost like its not exaggerated enough

[Nexxis]

or what happened before where it just has a gap and doesnt actually stay, id say its probably supposed to be used with the big chest but im small boob gaming (using milltina FC most definitely isnt helping either i bet)

[ineviTabLe]

@Nexxis gotcha! ill see if I can fix it ^^

[Nexxis]

@ineviTabLe heres a better look at it when i lean forward

[Donut]

@Nexxis I think milpix ain't a FBT user. Not even sure that he have VR

[Nexxis]

@Donut unfortunately i think you may be right donut...

[ineviTabLe]

@Nexxis small update!

I tried using shape-keys and drivers with unity but drivers don't export to unity so I'm going to attempt to use bone constraints next ><

if it doesn't work I'm probably gonna ask for help on the blender/unity forums haha because I have no idea how else to fix it

im glad though, this gives me some motivation to learn how to use blender and unity more! ive only really dabbled in modeling so anything beyond that is pretty new to me haha

edit: good news! bone constraints did fix the problem! bad news, idk how to make it work in unity, because constraints also don't export out of blender

i'm going to see if I can link bone movements with unity's rotation constraints, and see if that works... won't be home for a couple hours though

[Nexxis]

Hopefully, you're doing a good job bud, keep it up!

[ineviTabLe]

@Nexxis i think i managed to fix the clipping issue! please try out this file for me and tell me if it works! i also added blendshapes to shrink the chest, spine, and waist, lemme know if i should change those or not cause it's my first time doing them ><

small issue but pretty sure im just really stupid; it doesnt seem to want to use the already made prefab, and im having to use the one from inside the FBX (which has its own issues (not having textures, mesh cut not working etc.)) and using the mesh from the fbx and putting it into the prefab that already exists doesnt do anything

[Nexxis]

lol, it also looks a little silly but the blend shapes do work, well done !!!

[Nexxis]

[Nexxis]

and the weight painting you did is also amazing, but i think its fruitless effort just with how it was made and also with what donut said about it Milpix not having VR

[ineviTabLe]

@Nexxis nope, that was my fault! i forgot to replace the prefab so it was trying to pull objects that didn't exist

this SHOULD work now. i tested it on an empty unity file on an unmodified milltina. if it doesn't, lmk and i'll try to do some more fixing!

it does suck that Milpix's creations don't take FBT into consideration though, either they knew the problem and ignored it because they didn't want to bother, or they didn't know because they didn't really test things out... either way, it's a bit telling of their quality control, haha

also, after putting that much work into this i might as well just make a milltina avi for myself haha

[Nexxis]

@ineviTabLe lmfao yeah. ill give it a try 100%. i started working on a mayo cause of you so why not do the same? make a milltina!!

[Nexxis]

@ineviTabLe im gonna kiss you on the mouth

just a few issues but its near perfect!!

[Nexxis]

all thats left is the refinement on say, the shape, and then the gaps and whatnot but its amazing
